Only time will tell; if we can capture the feeling of "May it be" and "The Lord of the Rings", but for
us to sing the music will be a pleasure.
The Lord of the Rings; itself to me was a great film and I thought the singing of "Enya" helped make the film
in my mind a success.
How one classifies the music of Enya; is I suppose a matter of taste. "New Age Music" if you think so, but to
me it sounds "Celtic" and it is a free world after all.
The first time; I tried singing "May it be" I was surprised how well it sounded on just accoustic guitar and
vocals.
Time; to get serious and next time a little chorus effect on the guitar and that "Enya" reverb sound on the
vocals and I was evem more satisfied.
However Enya "May it be"; would still not be the same without those string pads on the keyboard and that's the
next task.
Neil who plays keyboard; in the band is in the Middle East at the time of writing and will add keyboards when he returns
soon.
Lord of the Rings with Highland Bagpipes; what a thought! I am working on this idea! adapting the melody for a musical
interlude in the song. Big question is? can I sing it in Bb or Eb? the two Bagpipe keys.
May it be Enya or may it be Celtic Horizon; Definately will not sound exactly the same though we hope our arrangement
and performance will please all "Enya" fans we keep running into.

Lord of the Rings posters; I have a few on my wall of my studio/office and I am also learning how to paint and it is interesting
to study the techniques used in putting the pictures together.
I also use the Lord of the Rings posters; as inspiration to put me in the right mood when I want to compose music in a
"New Age" or "Celtic" style.
Links to Enya,Lord of the rings ;and other web sites are on this page, please feel free to click on them, but remember
to come back again.
I hope you also have a look around our other web sites while you are here
